Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daisy Papp is an Excellence Coach and the author of the groundbreaking 5+2 Love Formula. Over the years, Daisy has further developed the Island Model, an invention/intervention of renowned Psychologist and Top Management Trainer Vera F. Birkenbihl. It is a surprisingly easy to understand metaphor that changes the insights and outlooks of the reader, the Island-Apprentice. The Island Model is logical, to the point, and quickly becomes an asset with high yield. This practical advice is recommended to anyone who wants to live successfully a more content and balanced life filled with tolerance and acceptance. In this book, you will learn: -How top achievers use The Island Model as an asset, -How to shed cultural, traditional, educational, and economical differences so you can focus your energy on tolerance and acceptance, and -How knowing why people (including you) do what they do, when they do it, can help you to succeed.
Download or read book New Model Island written by Alex Niven and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of place, identity, music, politics and regionalism which calls for a radical restructuring of the British Isles. In the early twenty-first century, "Englishness" suddenly became a hot topic. A rash of art exhibitions, pop albums and coffee table books arrived on the scene, all desperate to recover England’s lost national soul. But when we sweep away the patriotic stereotypes, we begin to see that England is a country that does not — and perhaps should not — exist in any essential sense. In this provocative text combining polemic and memoir, Alex Niven argues that the map of the British Isles should be torn apart completely as we look towards a time of radical political reform. Rejecting outdated nationalisms, Niven argues for a renovated model of culture and governance for the islands — a fluid, dynamic version of regionalism preparing the way for a new "dream archipelago".

Download or read book The World in the Model written by Mary S. Morgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two centuries, the way economic science is done has changed radically: it has become a social science based on mathematical models in place of words. This book describes and analyses that change - both historically and philosophically - using a series of case studies to illuminate the nature and the implications of these changes. It is not a technical book; it is written for the intelligent person who wants to understand how economics works from the inside out. This book will be of interest to economists and science studies scholars (historians, sociologists and philosophers of science). But it also aims at a wider readership in the public intellectual sphere, building on the current interest in all things economic and on the recent failure of the so-called economic model, which has shaped our beliefs and the world we live in.
Download or read book An Analysis of Island Models in Evolutionary Computation written by Zbigniew Maciej Skolicki and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Island models (IMs) are a class of distributed evolutionary algorithms (EAs) in which the population is split into multiple sub-populations called islands. Separate EAs run independently on each island, but they interact by means of migrating individuals. Therefore, IMs are different both from a single-population standard EA, as well as from a set of multiple isolated EAs. IMs are interesting for several reasons. They have been reported to yield better results than standard EAs. IMs are also advantageous when computational tasks must be distributed across multiple machines because their structure is easy to parallelize. However, despite many studies, no comprehensive theory describing their behavior has been developed. Due to the lack of theory and a complex architecture with many control parameters, setting up IMs has been a trial-and-error process, guided mostly by 'rules of thumb.' In this dissertation, I adopt a two-level (intra- and inter-island) view of IMs and show how this approach makes understanding their dynamics easier. They behave very differently than standard EAs, and in order to take full advantage of this, I propose a better utilization of the inter-island level of evolution. In particular, I argue for setups with many relatively small islands, and I also show that compositional evolution may scale to the inter-island level. The two levels of evolution influence each other, and I analyze this interaction more deeply. Migrations profoundly change the local dynamics and stimulate evolution, which often ultimately results in better performance. I study the role of genetic operators in this behavior and also create mathematical models of after-migration dynamics. This analysis gives us a better understanding of mixing and the survival of genes locally, and these processes in turn determine the type and level of interaction between islands globally. Further, using island heterogeneity enhances the inter-island evolution. Following the study, I analyze IM behavior on a range of test problems, including two complex domains. This dissertation improves our understanding of the dynamics of IMs and suggests a qualitative change in the way we think about them. This perspective offers new guidelines for configuring IM parameters and opens new directions for future work"--Abstract

Download or read book Evolutionary Computation written by Wellington Santos and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents several recent advances on Evolutionary Computation, specially evolution-based optimization methods and hybrid algorithms for several applications, from optimization and learning to pattern recognition and bioinformatics. This book also presents new algorithms based on several analogies and metafores, where one of them is based on philosophy, specifically on the philosophy of praxis and dialectics. In this book it is also presented interesting applications on bioinformatics, specially the use of particle swarms to discover gene expression patterns in DNA microarrays. Therefore, this book features representative work on the field of evolutionary computation and applied sciences. The intended audience is graduate, undergraduate, researchers, and anyone who wishes to become familiar with the latest research work on this field.
